Infogrames: Atari collapse will not affect our development program

Although Atari has waved goodbye to game development, parent company Infogrames wants you to know that it isn't following in its child's footsteps. In a statement released today (via GameDaily), Infogrames said Atari's decisions "do not undermine the Infogrames Group's ability to carry out its video game development program and to continue selling products under the Atari brand name."

The clarification seems oddly unnecessary, given that Atari is just a subsidiary of Infogrames. The holding company also owns Eden Games (Test Drive Unlimited) and Shiny Entertainment (Earthworm Jim, MDK); development will presumably continue as usual.
